*** About Queen Victoria: Queen Victoria, born in 1819, was the monarch of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland from 1837 until her death in 1901. She became a symbol of British imperial expansion and Victorian values, characterized by strict social ethics and a moral rigor. Under her reign, the British Empire expanded massively, encompassing regions on nearly every continent. Known for her long mourning of her husband Prince Albert, she was often portrayed as the isolated widow, but her era was marked by industrial, cultural, and scientific advancements. Victoria's legacy is complex, as it intertwines the great advances of the 19th century with the darker aspects of imperialism and strict social codes.
